Without having touched either pistol, it looks like it’ll be between the P365MS and the S&W M&P Shield 2.0. That said, if the FN Reflex can be had with a
manual safety, it looks very interesting.

I just don’t want a Glock.

I hope you figure it out but I am curious about not liking the grip safety? It’s never even crossed my mind that it’s on there or any of my others with it. Shooting the pistol requires you to release it so it’s not a conscious thought. The equalizer comes with or without the thumb safety. I still enjoy shooting the 365 more, but ease of operation goes to the smith. Guess I’ve already said that though.

How’s the trigger on the 365? I’ll re-add the Equalizer to the list of possibles.

Trigger isn’t horrible but a flat trigger is a definite needed upgrade in my opinion. I’ve shot the regular 365, 365xl and the macro. Couldn’t shoot any of them well enough to trust my life with one. But the flat trigger on the xl and macro was a plus.

I like it fine. If you're back up in dfw or Corsicana you're welcome to shoot mine.I have a p365 and a p365xl.

I have a Shield because it was the first I found second had locally out of all the ones mentioned above.

Striker fired. Never shot a striker fired pistol that had what I would consider a good trigger. The caveat is I shoot it what I consider good for me with a small pistol. To my way of thinking, those little pocket pistols are up close point and shoot anyway.

About striker-fired triggers, they will break in some over time. The Shield PRO from their custom shop has an upgraded trigger but I really couldn't tell enough difference between it and mine to spend an extra $150-200. The first thing I did with my Shield was dry-fire it about 300-400 times which made it feel pretty good. If you have to, APEX makes upgrades for a lot of these guns. I put a full APEX sear/trigger kit in my fullsize M&P and it did make a lot of difference.

Glock 43X with the aftermarket 15 round double stack.

P365. It is about as close to perfect for concealed carry as you can get. Small, light, reliable, adequate capacity. My wife, my son, and I all have one.

When I don't have to be so discrete I normally carry something larger like my EDCX9 but I feel completely comfortable with the 365.

I'm a G43 guy for daily carry, easy to conceal. BUT there are times I can throw a LCP 380 in a pocket and be even more discrete and it's a throw-away pistol to me. Also, if I didn't have a Glock...the 365 would be next on my list.

My wife wanted a new pistol last fall...she ended up getting a Glock 48 with MOS...I'm impressed enough with the red dot that I think I'll get a setup like that for myself...except I'll go with a 43 or 43x. I was amazed how much more accurate faster I was with the dot...I didn't believe the hype, until I actually shot one...I get it now.

Biggest thing is comfort...go to BPS/Cabelas or any other bigger gun shot and put them in your hand, get the one you like...doesn't matter what we recommend or shoot.

Also, Glock has the best safety...keep your booger picker off the bang switch until you're ready for it to go off.

Mine lives in my pocket, unless I'm at work.

Now that I’m not chasing bank robbers around anymore I’m content with carrying a LCP22. I have several of them.

At the risk of sounding like Judd (gay), I have to say I’m fond of my G43x with light and RDO. Conceals easily, holds 15+1, and actually shoots really well for its size. I still rock the G42 when I want pocket carry.

A 365 X Macro in your pocket? Other than baggy shorts I don't know that I could do that and have it be inconspicuous and comfortable if it would even fit. How about a picture? Maybe I'll learn something and have another option.

Thanks.

Those are great little pistols.

Don’t be asking for pictures of another man’s pants.

This.

Kel-tec P3At in my pocket most of the time. Hellcat w/15rd mag on my belt or a XDM w/19rd mag when i can wear a shirt untucked.
The Duluth firehose cargo pants i wear the majority of the time has pockets that will easily conceal the Hellcat.

Happy with my LC9s. In pocket or holster.

I didn’t say it was inconspicuous or comfortable, just that it would fit in my pocket if I need it to.

Gotcha, thanks.

Been happy with the older ruger lc9. Think it’s the ec9s now. Worth comparing anyways.
